3 Italian Joints In Singapore With Fresh & Flavourful Pasta At Affordable Prices
Fresh and flavourful pasta is not cheap in Singapore. In fact, a plate at any cafe or bistro will easily cost you $20 or more. Fortunately, our city-state is buzzing with hundreds of Italian restaurants, so you can still find a handful of eateries serving slurp-worthy Italian food at reasonable prices. Want to get your Italian fix for cheap? Here’s a list of affordable pasta places in Singapore to check out.

Do note that this build-your-own concept is only available at Tipo’s Aliwal restaurant.

PastaGo serves freshly made fettuccine, mafalde, and spaghetti in six core flavours for under $10: aglio olio, chicken bolognese, tomato marinara, carbonara, beef bolognese, and al limone. Each base includes the option to upsize the pasta or add a protein such as grilled chicken, broccoli, or sauteed prawns.

Although PastaGo is a takeaway kiosk, the chef prepares your order a la minute, so you can look forward to long strands of velvety pasta soaked in the right amount of sauce.
